Hello, readers! It’s been awhile since I posted anything. Life has been crazy busy, but I find myself having a moment this afternoon to share a yummy, healthy smoothie recipe I formed this morning. This recipe can be modified to your liking. It combines ingredients that are a wonderful way to start your day. I personally drank this smoothie for breakfast with some eggs after a light run. How will you drink it? Start thinking about that because you should try it tomorrow!

I hope you enjoy trying this smoothie. The Lord is a creative God. Having been made in His image, I think it’s fun to be creative, too (in the form of food prep)! Plus, this smoothie is packed with nutrition for stewarding that awesome body He gave you. Why am I bringing up my great God at the end of a smoothie recipe? Let me leave you with a little encouragment for your personal relationship with God and simultaneously answer that question with a verse from God’s living and active Word!
You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
~Isaiah 26:3~
Thanks for reading!
